I purchased this because it will operate in access point mode (use my router) and is supports Ethernet backhaul. There were some minor setup glitches until the firmware updated. After updates and setup completed it has been bullet proof.

We have very large victorian 3 story home with thick brick walls. Wifi and cell phone reception is very poor. We did have multiple either net ports throughout the house. We were able to set this up easily through the ethernet ports and we have super fast wifi throughout the house.

The unit works Great -- Have a 3600 sq ft home and always had an issue in the far bedroom as well as the Rec Room - Put 3 units in and great coverage - Thanks to Crutchfield for advising me of this fix,

TP-Link has regularly topped the list of our favourite wireless routers at Expert Reviews in the past few years, but with mesh networking gaining ground over traditional methods of strengthening your home Wi-Fi coverage, it's having to change tack.

Great parental controls; Three-year antivirus built in; Strong wireless coverage

Slightly slow at close range; Pricier than BT Whole Home Wi-Fi

Really easy to install and add further units. We live in an old thick walled bungalow and WiFi has always been an issue. Used powerline etc which help but were never great. These have flooded the house in rock solid and fast WiFi.

MESH wifi was about the only option for seamless wifi in our brick century home. Our previous single point wifi solutions would not cover most of rear addition or second floor. We used a range extender for quite awhile however we would need to manually switch between the main SSID and the extender...

I am so disappointed with the Deco M5. It worked okay for the first couple of weeks but ever since (maybe after a firmware update) it has been horrible. We are not high bandwidth users but for the past 5 months, we have to reboot the main router 3-10 times a week.

Compact

Bought this a few days ago as the house wifi was not working well and we were not getting the most of our NBN50 internet. Some streaming devices kept buffering and my Google Home kept disconnecting.

I live in a house with big thick walls, and had been using power lines to get internet around the house. This mesh system is excellent. I found that they both needed updating, so just connected them with a network cable to my router and they did the rest.

Having suffered "dead spots" with my existing WiFi, I decided to upgrade to a full MESH network and, after reading professional technical reviews, chose the Link DECO system. Setup was so easy, and trouble free straight out of the box.
